When all the so called righteous sects ganged up and attacked the Ming cult at the Brightness Peak, many people "tried" to put their differences aside and came together to defend the Ming cult. Bright left messenger Yang Xiao was present, so were two of the Kings - Eagle King and Bat King. Also the five wanderers were present. They came together for the cult even though all of them had gone their different ways. Lion King Xie Xun was absent for obvious reasons.
Why were Bright Right Messenger Fan Yao and Dragon Queen Daiqisi missing in action? Why didn't they come to the battle of Brightness Peak to defend their sect from extinction?
